NTLM coming to Safari 3


From Macworld: Safari 3.0.2 beta improves Mail, iChat support

Apple notes a variety of improvements planned soon for incorporation into Safari 3, including support for international users, international text input methods, advanced text, localized menus and help, NTLM support and more.

Excellent, maybe Safari will be able to make it through 'corporate' (read 'Microsoft') firewalls, and maybe even work with some parts of the intranet..?

Mozilla's addition of NTLM last year (...or more!) at lest made Camino/Firefox pretty usable in a corporate setting, but only for the basics.

Hopefully increased usage of Gecko and WebKit (iPhone!) will reduce the viability of IE-only intranet development, but I'm not holding my breath!
